Jaw Zaman Restaurant and Caffè

Lovely restaurant with great, helpful staff. It was our first meal in Jordan so we asked for recommendations and everything was excellent! The garden was lovely and all food delicious. Thanks for a great meal

This restaurant was our first stop upon arriving in Jordan. We were warmly welcomed and served delicious food for dinner. We needed to have breakfast the next day at 7am to have an early start and the owner agreed to open for us. When we came in the morning, the owner cooked for us himself because the chef wasn't at work so early. At that moment we realized that all other restaurants and cafes were closed and still remained closed even after we finished our breakfast. We were welcomed with a nice service and Jordanian hospitality

We had an amazing lunch with our group today, lovely food, nice atmosphere and great communication with the manager. Great menu with reasonable prices in the centre of Madaba.

Highly recommended 👌

Jaw Zaman is a fantastic restaurant in Madaba, Jordan that offers delicious traditional food at an affordable price. The al-fresco terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy the local cuisine while taking in the charming atmosphere of this historic city. The food is not only fresh but also incredibly tasty, with generous portions that will leave you feeling satisfied. In addition to the great food, the service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff who are happy to guide you through the menu and make recommendations. What's more, Jaw Zaman also offers local beer, which is a rare find in Jordan and adds an extra touch to your dining experience. Overall, if you're looking for a great place to enjoy delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere, Jaw Zaman is definitely worth a visit.

If you are visiting Madaba this is a must stop! The food was incredible and the service was even better. Our host went out of his way to help us choose a local dish and his suggestion to have the maftool poetry dish did not disappoint. We also got the mushroom soup which was outstanding, especially given it was freezing outside. Also don't pass on the minted lemonade. What an incredible experience.

I wanted to give 4.5 stars but the 5 stars are well deserved. The food is very good and comes in big portions (I recomend taking 1 portion for two people). The staff is amazingly kind and available. The location is great and close to turist attractions. The price is very good related to the amount and the taste of the food. Very recommended. Total spent for 1 beer, 2 small waters, 1 cola, 1 "vegetable pottery", 1 chicken with lemon, 1 Falafel, 1 French fries and 1 "chef soup" is 52.43 JD.

Absolutely amazing. Don’t hesitate to take a dinner or lunch here. All the dishes we tried were very tasty and the staff was so nice, explaining us the ingredients and helping us to choose. They even went to buy something they didn’t have in the restaurant for making our dinner perfect. Don’t forget to try the homemade dish cooked outside the restaurant in a traditional way. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to have the perfect local food in a nice, cozy and beauriful restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. The staff is excellent!
Food was beyond our dreams. The waiter helped us a lot to learn about local foods, and offered us extra teas. I really recoomend to have a dinner there!

Very delicious food at a perfectly located restaurant. The food presentation is also on point. Overall great experience!

Lovely Restaraunt! Array of seating areas to choose from, suits everybodies taste! Great Menu in both Arabic and English. I visited here with a group on solo travellers, we had all met that day and had a beautiful meal in the afternoon. Presentation of food was awesome and the staff were very helpful and friendly!

Very tasty food. Nice place to have rest at home day.

We ate outside under the tented patio. It was a bit chilly but the manager turned on the patio heater and offered my wife a full length coat. We ordered a minced meat dish with onions and roasted tomatoes. It was so tasty. Enjoyed the service atmosphere and the food.

Superbly delicious, flavorful, authentic local food. Recommend the Maftoul Chicken Pottery or any of v the Pottery varieties. Minted Lemonade really hit the spot.

Chef waited on us himself - interesting guy to talk to as well

Best food we had in Madaba. The server (if I understood correctly, her name was Meldi) kindly recommended some specialties that we thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant also has a nice ambience. I should also note it was the most expensive meal we had in Jordan, but since we enjoyed our food, we don't regret the price and I'd recommend this place.

One more maqlobah before leaving beautiful Jordan. Jaw Zaman came on strong recommendation and they didn’t fail to deliver 👍. I can recommend for both the great taste of the food and great service received.

You couldn't ask for a nicer waiter/chef. He suggested local traditional food cooked in a clay pot. We gave it a go and we're glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend stopping buy and trying their food!

During our stay in Madaba we were regularly returning to this restaurant. Jordanian specialities they serve are a real delight, the staff so nice and ready to recommend not only dishes but even some places worth visiting, all this in a beautiful setting of a stone terrace.
If you stay in Madaba, don’t miss this place!

Good location with the souvenir Souq of Madaba. Héritage recipe served in old school clay little jars. Prices are reasonable, as another restaurants, a service charge is added.

We asked the waiter to make recommendations for us and he did not disappoint! Very nice staff and welcoming environment. We truly enjoyed our meal.
